Paint & Wine Nights Arte Bar is Barcelona’s Premier Painting and Wine Studio. They offer no-experience-required paint nights in their hip and casual studio six nights a week (Tuesday-Sunday). Their art instructors will guide you step-by-step in creating your version of the featured painting of the night, while you relax, unplug, listen to music, meet new people and have a glass of wine or beer. Classes are three hours long and include all materials, instruction, and pica pica. Beer and wine can be bought at the studio or you can bring your own. At the end of the night, students take home the painting they created during the class. Private events or team building events available during the day or in the evening for groups of up to 24 people.

Hair Expression at Royal Oak Your hair is a reflection of your creative spirit. Whatever your jam is, your hair should be able to reflect it. Hair is not an afterthought, but rather as important an expression of your personality as what you wear, or what music you listen to; but that doesn’t mean it should be a pain to maintain. Giving you easy-to-maintain hair that fully expresses your creativity and sense of style is at the core of Royal Oak’s philosophy and service. They strive to give clients what will work best for their unique hair and style – and something that is also totally achievable at home between salon sessions.     About Meagan BellovinMeagan arrived in Barcelona in 2019, having left behind a full life of family, friends, and career in Austin, Texas.
